Magda furrowed her brows, frowning as if to ask if I had done anything else besides almost burning Ivan alive.I shook my head, telling her that I had no idea what was going on.When we got to the Principal's office, Langrid, Micah and the Principal were all sitted, wearing a serious expression on their faces."Why am I here?" I directed my question to the Principal."We want to check if you sustained more injuries with the lad you fought yesterday." The Principal answered.Micah frowned at me.I hadn't told her nor Magda what had happened yesterday."I didn't sustain any injuries." Even if I had sustained injuries that I didn't know of, they would have healed up already.The screen appeared again in front of me.Threat. Activate automatic self defense.What the hell did that mean?I looked around again.None of them seemed like a threat.I didn't trust the Principal and I felt weird around Langrid but Micah was most definitely not a threat."You can't tell." "How can you tell? Your
Writer's POVThe Principal hesitated before leaving Kastian and going through the portal to where Micah laid.Janel was still unconscious so Micah was his only hope in finding out what had happened.Langrid went with him."We were only gone for a split second so as not to distract you and Janel. What on Lath happened there?" The Principal asked curiously.Langrid had found a way to stop him from going to where Zenin had died.He convinced Callin that if he let Micah and Janel take a peep into his mind, they would be able to let them know what the young Ash knew.But they had failed.Janel had been sure that the young Ash didn't know anything more than they needed him to know.He assured the Principal and Langrid that he had successfully wiped out the memory of whoever Zenin was, from his mind.However, Micah had been reluctant to go into the young Ash's head.She wasn't afraid of what was going to happen should she try to get into his mind again like she did the last time.She just di
A boy a little older than me came to inform me that the Principal would have me return to my dormitory.I didn't need the Principal's permission to return to my dormitory.I was going to leave whether he permitted it or not.The boy stared at me and then the blood spilled around, a little terrified as I walked out of the room.I remembered what he had told me about the building."Hey." I turned around swiftly at the door, startling him."Can you take me around the building?" I asked him."It's strictly for Specials who got injured on a mission." "Just for a short while, I wish to see it." I pestered him."I'm afraid I can't do that without the Principal's permission. If you would let me ask him and then he would approve it, I will definitely show you around." He made to leave but I pulled him back.He glared at me with a frown."Don't bother. I'll get to see it anyway when I begin to go on missions."If I continued leveling up at this rate, that was surely going to happen soon.But t
Writer's POVCallin and Langrid were now at the gate.While Langrid doubted that there was any need for them to go, the Principal strongly believed that they would get the answers to all that they needed to know."Zenin is dead, Callin." Langrid sighed, frustrate at the Principal's decision to go."Until I see for myself." Callin responded."It's been almost two decades since his death. There would be no sign of his death anywhere there." Langrid almost yelled at Callin.They were friends but the latter still had more power so Langrid still respected him for being in that position.Without giving his partner an answer, he walked through the gate.Frustrated and unwillingly, Langrid followed.Their next location was Earth.Once, the ordinary humans had found out about the Special humans and their abilities.They kidnapped one of them and had started experimenting on them.The experiments had gone on for a much longer time before the academy finally located the location of the experimen
The screen appeared in front of me, displaying my exercise routine for the evening.Wrong timing.I badly wanted to ignore it and go in search for loser but I couldn't.I wanted to get stronger so I was going to grasp every opportunity.I changed my plan and did my routine before heading to my dormitory.Luckily, I found him by my door, I didn't have to search for him."We begin today. Right now." I informed him and he nodded.I needed to have one sparring session with him before asking him for his abilities because I needed him to trust that I wasn't going to bail out on him after I had used him."I know a good training ground." He started moving ahead of me and I followed.We walked until we reached an open space.Where was this?"It's the most hidden training ground in the academy."I knew why he had chosen here, he didn't want to get caught by his friends, with me."It's large." I admitted."It is but it's not the largest."If this wasn't the largest, I could only imagine what the
"No longer coming?" Landon asked when I remained glued to a spot.I read the words on the screen over and over again.There was a room under this building."You can leave, I'll be right behind you." If I indeed found something, I wasn't going to let Jim know about it."You'll be caught, Ash. No way I'm leaving you behind." He crossed his arms under his chest stubbornly."For someone who hated me, you do care." I smirked at his decision not to leave me behind.Maybe he wasn't a loser after all.He mumbled something under his breath that sounded like, "I never said I hated you, alright?""I'll be right behind you, Landon." I repeated.I needed him to leave now so I could check the building.He still hesitated."I mean this, Landon, I'll be right behind you. I won't tell your friends anything about our deal and I'm not going to back out, I assure you."Maybe the reason he didn't want to leave me behind was because he didn't want the training to stop or he was afraid that if I got caught,
Writer's POVMicah had returned to the facility Janel was being treated in.She waited for a while before he finally regained consciousness.He might be a highly ranked psychic user like her but he healed differently from her."Took you long enough." She walked into his recovery room.He grinned when he saw her.She never visited him except he had gotten injured during a mission yet, here she was."Seeing you here makes me want to believe you might have found a new interest in me." He greeted back, sitting up.She leaned on the door frame for a while before deciding to walk in."Don't believe it, Janel. That's just your own mind playing tricks on you. That's rather disappointing of a psychic user to be played by his own mind. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." She sat in front of him.This had always been their way of conversing."Why are you here?" Janel asked Micah after they had teased each other for a while."You know why I'm here, Janel." She got pissed at his pretense o
The large space that turned out to be the secret room, surpassed my expectation.There were two beds on either side of the room with something attached to both beds, linking them.There were big screens around the room just like the one that scanned me.The room was dirty with cob webs hanging around to show the room had not been in use for a long period.Tiny insects crawled around the room.They didn't look like ants or cockroaches. I didn't expect to see any of those in another Universe anyway."Crazy." I breathed, walking further into the room.By the side of one of the beds, there was a metallic box.I walked straight to it."Zenin." I read out loud.It was labelled.Zenin must have been the owner of this bed and everything in this box must belong to him.The Principal had discussed some experiment with my parents.This must have been the place the Principal tested my mother's prototype on Zenin.Why would he do such a thing?She was a Q-grade Special while he was a C-grade.The
